The governor of the American State of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger, has gotten the green light, from the San Francisco Superior Court, to cut 2 annual public sector holidays.
The number of California state public sector holidays was cut from 14 to 12 last year (04-Dec-2009 and 14-Nov-2009), with the dropping of the public sector holidays for Lincoln's Birthday (in February) and Columbus Day (in October) from the list of paid holidays.
